Ariane 62 VA265 | Sentinel-1D | 04.11.2025

[Lion97]

Czwarty lot Ariane 62 zaplanowano na wtorek, 4 listopada, na godzinę 21:03 UTC z Ensemble de Lancement Ariane 4 (ELA-4) w Gujanie Kosmicznej w Gujanie Francuskiej.

Dwustopniowa rakieta Ariane 6, wspomagana przez dwa dołączane silniki rakietowe na paliwo stałe, poleci po trajektorii północnej, aby umieścić ładunek Sentinel-1D o masie 2184 kg na orbicie heliosynchronicznej (SSO).

Sentinel-1D dołączy do swojego brata, Sentinela-1C, na orbicie. Po pełnym uruchomieniu zastąpi Sentinela-1A, który działa na orbicie od 11 lat – znacznie dłużej niż planowany czas trwania misji.

Satelity Sentinel-1D i Sentinel-1C będą generować dane i obrazy za pomocą radaru z syntetyczną aperturą (SAR) w paśmie C, który rejestruje obrazy powierzchni Ziemi w wysokiej rozdzielczości. Satelity są również wyposażone w system automatycznej identyfikacji (AIS), który usprawnia wykrywanie i śledzenie jednostek morskich.

🌍🚀 Sukces!
Ariane6 pomyślnie wystrzelił Sentinel1D w ramach misji VA265 z europejskiego portu kosmicznego.

🛰 Sentinel-1D, będący częścią unijnego programu Copernicus, będzie dostarczał obrazy radarowe powierzchni Ziemi w każdych warunkach pogodowych, w dzień i w nocy.

Last night, we witnessed the successful launch of Sentinel-1D on an Ariane 6, a great launch for Europe a double win for ESA and its Member States. ESA delivers!

This satellite will replace Sentinel-1A after 11 years of service, ensuring the Copernicus programme continues to deliver vital radar data for climate monitoring, crisis response, Arctic observation, and marine surveillance. Copernicus delivers!

Sentinel-1D strengthens European autonomy, supports evidence-based climate action, and inspires future generations with cutting-edge technology. Together, the @EU_Commission and @esa bring the benefits of space to citizens in Europe and worldwide.

A huge thank you to our partners at the European Commission, industry prime @Thales_Alenia_S Italy and @AirbusSpace Germany, and the ESA teams who made this possible and to our colleagues at @defis_eu @CNES and @Arianespace.

04.11.2025 o 23:22 CET odebrano na Ziemi pierwszy sygnał z Sentinela-1D (ostatni z pierwszej generacji)
Teraz esa operations przejmuje fazę LEOP (start i wczesne operacje).

🎉 It’s official—and it’s good news! The @CopernicusEU Sentinel-1 mission just welcomed a new member: Sentinel-1D. Launched at 22:02 CET from Kourou aboard an Ariane 6 rocket, it  sent its first signal back to Earth.
Now @esaoperations takes over for the delicate LEOP (Launch and Early Operations) phase🛰️

Everyone knows about the luck of the Irish, but luck doesn't come into play with rocket science.
🍀 Just ahead of #scienceweek: #Ariane6 made in Ireland
🇮🇪 A founding member of @esa, Ireland is also a contributor to Ariane 6, with companies like Nammo Ireland and
@RealtraSpace ☘️

Nammo Ireland contributes with 11 structural assemblies, providing support and connecting the main operating components to the Vinci and Vulcain engines. Nammo also manufactures dry-film lubricated spherical bearings that are used in the supports.

Réaltra gives #Ariane6 its ‘eyes in the sky’! They build the Video Telemetry Kit, that delivers the live video feed via six on-board cameras. The system is independent from the rocket so it doesn’t use Ariane 6's processing power or data transmission.
